Hump Day Hiatus II
I think most of what’s really, really important in life takes place slowly and quietly – if not in complete silence. Think about the soothing power of quiet as you watch this masterfully written video poem. SOMEWHERE U.S.A. from Vitùc on Vimeo.
PSA I
As September and Childhood Obesity Awareness Month continues, one oft-heard comment is that nutritious food is too expensive; people living with economic adversity are forced to buy Coke instead of milk or juice; french fries are cheaper than potatoes, etc. In rebuttal, feast your eyes upon the following illustrations.

This is not a Photoshop or sfx experiment. No, this is what happens when you combine a toaster, a couple thousand pieces of bread, and a woodburner. If you aren’t familiar with the videos of OK Go, they are all massive, complicated productions. This one is no exception. NOTE: All 215 loaves of bread used in this video were, according …
